About the Game

🏰 Your Desktop Dungeon Companion


Dungeon Buddy is a tiny idle RPG that lives in the corner of your screen, automatically exploring dungeons while you work, study, or browse.

⚔️ Auto Combat, Manual Strategy


Battles run automatically, but strategy is in your hands!
  • 8 zones × infinite loop dungeon
  • Boss every 15 floors
  • Stuck? Drop down to farm and come back stronger
  • 3 active skills: Smite, Heal, and Rage

🗡️ The Thrill of Equipment Enhancement


Diablo-style random affix equipment drops await.
  • Prefix + suffix combos create thousands of unique items
  • Safe enhancement up to +3, risky from +4
  • Going for +8? Success makes you a hero. Failure destroys your gear!

🔮 Deep Relic Builds


Collect 20 relics and equip 5 to define your build.
  • Lifesteal, crit, chain attacks, and more
  • Combine 2 relics for hidden resonance effects
  • Upgrade relics infinitely with fragments — level is power

💰 Every Gold Coin is a Choice


How you spend gold defines your strategy!
  • Permanent stat boosts (ATK%, DEF%, HP%, Crit%)
  • All-in on gear enhancement? Or spread across stats?
  • Risk a dangerous upgrade, or play it safe?

📍 Play Your Way

  • Freely move to any floor you've reached
  • Higher floors = better rewards (up to 3x+)
  • Milestone rewards every 15 floors, repeating each loop
  • Offline progress — keeps going even when closed

✨ Perfect For

  • Office workers who want something growing in the corner
  • Students sneaking a peek between classes
  • Loot lovers who live for that next legendary drop
  • Idle game fans who want actual meaningful choices
